Wonderful location

We have just spent 6 days in the apartment, which was clean and comfortable. James was welcoming and helpful, a worthy deputy for Marina who was in Italy.

The apartment is a stone's throw from Capitol South metro station and very convenient for visiting the major attractions in DC.

Highly recommendedMore

I cannot say enough about how wonderful this place was! Everything from the owners quick replies when booking, to the property itself. My husband and 14 year old daughter spent 5 nights here. We requested a parking permit and a roll away bed. Both were ready and waiting. We were surprised that there was always room to park on the street very close to the door.

Location is beyond perfect. One block from the subway. Walking distance to the Capitol, Supreme Court and many others. It was so convenient, we stopped back mid-day to get off our feet for a little bit before heading out again.

The property itself was so clean. Roomy living room with big screen tv. Very good sized kitchen with everything you need to cook. Very nice, but small, newly remodeled bathroom. Good bedroom with an amazing foam mattress topper. Most comfortable bed and pillows ever. Tons of small things were so classy too: nice hangers in closet, cozy extra blankets, extra toiletries, good lighting, ikea touches to decorating, ironing board, hair dryer, good kitchen utensils... I could easily live here long term and not change a thing.

You really couldn't ask for a better location. Just a couple of blocks from the Capital and in a really good neighborhood. The Metro is just a half block away. The Condo is roomy, clean and recently updated. The Family that owns the unit lives upstairs and aside from being very nice are pretty much invisible. Parking is a problem as it is everywhere in DC. You can park on the street and the owners will get you a permit but that is often tricky. There aren't many spaces and the rules change as the week goes on. You may have to move your car several times. We just reserved a place in a deck in town close to the Metro. Expensive but no problems. The only thing that really bothered us was the TV. It gets only internet feeds. No local stuff and it is slow, always buffering. They really should get cable. There are plenty of really good places to eat/drink in walking distance. We enjoyed our stay.

Nathan Glad you and your wife enjoyed the stay at our flat. The residential street parking is limited to residents and we gladly provide free (or for a small charge) a visitor permit and unless there is street restriction for emergency work (as on the day of your arrival) the vehicle may be left in the same spot without the need to move it during the entire stay. Often our guests find parking right in front of the house. We encourage guests to provide their car info at least three days prior arriving. The TV, as described in the listing, has local channels (about 15 of them), plus ROKU which allows access for free to Netflix, Amazon, Hulu with tons of free movies. We prefer to go over all these little items at check in time unless the guests prefer to "just have the access entry code". Happy Travels

My son and I stayed here for 8 nights when we came to DC to explore the city. This was the perfect location! Less than a block from the Capitol South Metro stop and with several restaurants and other conveniences within a short walking distance. The owners lived upstairs, but we rarely saw them although they were quick to respond if we needed them. The kitchen is supplied with all the basics you may need and the bathroom has been very nicely updated. The door had a coded locking system which made me feel secure and there was no key to keep track of. It fit all our needs perfectly. I will be looking to stay here again when I do this same trip with my daughter in a few years. Thank you La Strega!

This apartment is a short walk to subway and most Washington sightseeing. Restaurants and shops nearby. Apartment is spacious and well appointed. Owners have included many thoughtful extras to make your stay comfortable. Outside sitting area and backyard were wonderful for a coffee or drink after a big day sightseeing.
